City Council cannot
overturn sick-leave veto
Employee rights.
The council shot
down the paidsick-leave bill for
the second time
in three years on
Thursday.
City Councilman Bill
Greenlee thought the second time was the charm.

“I thought this time
we had it,” he said, “And
it fell that little short.”
For the second time in
three years, City Council
did not post the requisite
12 votes to overturn Mayor Michael Nutter’s veto
of the proposed paid sick
leave bill.
Greenlee, the bill’s
sponsor, said he could not
score one crucial vote.
“The one word I would
use is ‘disappointed,’”
Greenlee said.

Quoted

“I thought this
time we had it,
and it fell that little
short. The one word
I would use is
‘disappointed.’ There
was a whole lot
of work done by a
whole lot of people.”
GREENLEE

Under the proposal,
workers would have
been entitled to one
hour of sick leave for
every 40 hours worked.
Companies that employ
between six and 20 employees would have been
required to offer upward
of four sick days per year.
Large
companies
would have been required to offered upward
of seven sick days.
A stipulation for domestic abuse victims

would have allowed sick
days to be used for personal reasons.
Is there energy for a
third round?
“I would never say
never,” Greenlee said.
“But there was a lot of
work done by whole lot
of people on this and I
don’t want to go through
that again.”

A Temple University
study suggests kids
are at greater risk
of being overweight
if they use adultsize dishware. The
study, published in
the latest edition of
medical journal Pediatrics, concludes that
children using larger

served themselves
more food and ate 50
percent of the calories they had dished
out. Temple researchers analyzed the

first-grade students in
the study. Half of the

WHY NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO SELL!

The economic downturn of the last few years has caused the price of gold, silver and many commodities to their highest levels in over 30 years.
This is the best time in decades to sell your unused gold, silver, platinum and diamond jewelry at the highest prices ever.

FINE JEWELRY

All Kinds, Time Periods & Types
We will pay up to the following for rare & collectible jewelry:
:PS]LY1L^LSY`<W;V$2,500

Our Aim is to Beat Most Offers!
We Strive to Beat All
Legitimate Written Offers
Before Bringing your items to us,
take them to other dealers. Have
them give you legitimate offers in
writing. Then bring your jewelry
and written offers to one of our
locations. Although no one can
guarantee with certainty they are
paying the highest price for an
article at any particular time, we
will strive to beat most legitimate
written offers.

A Note Regarding the
Up To Prices listed in this Ad
The condition and rarity of an
item determines its price. If an
item is in excellent condition
and very rare it might be worth
the up to price, or even more.
However, if an item is in poor
condition, the value will be lower.
For example, a 1927 S Quarter
could be worth $7,000 in new
condition or less than $20 in
poor condition. The up to price
reflects items of exceptional
quality and rarity. Although it is
unlikely you will have these items
due to their extreme rarity, feel

free to bring whatever items you
may have and we will evaluate
them free of charge.

Why We Can Usually Pay
More Than Other Dealers
Most jewelers and dealers
specialize in few items and focus
on newer looking items to resell.
Because they are unfamiliar with
many other items including vintage jewelry, old watches, coins,
flatware, etc. they tend to offer
very low prices because these
items are not readily saleable for
them. Our company has many
specialized buyers for the various
classifications of items that we
purchase, therefore we can usually pay more.

Customer Satisfaction
Most of our business comes from
satisfied customers and referrals
which includes their friends and
families. Our showrooms are safe
and private. Our staff is courteous and professional and we
strive as a company to make your
selling experience a pleasant one.

SEPTA. Execs say
policy does not mean
free rides for all
Mike Liberi, chief officer
of buses and trolleys for
SEPTA, was adamant:
“There are no free rides.”
In response to a Metro story that quoted an
internal memo informing employees of a tweak
regarding fare collection,
officials and operators
were not instructed to
give free trips.
“Everyone is expected
to pay,” Liberi said.
An updated memo,
which was distributed to
employees a few weeks
back, reads: “Employees
are required to ‘check
and request’ a fare of all
passengers. Passengers
unable or unwilling to
pay the fare shall be

permitted to ride.”
It tells drivers to
document the time and
date of the missed fare,
but to avoid possible
altercations between
drivers and riders.
“The whole idea of
the memo was to avoid
confrontation,” said
Francis E. Kelly, SEPTA’s
assistant general manager.
SEPTA spokeswoman
Jerri Williams said this is
not a fare policy change
— that requires a public
hearing — but a customer service rule changed
“to decrease incidents
of assaults on operators
stemming from fare
disputes.” TOMMY ROWAN

Quoted

“Operators are advised to take no direct
action against fare evaders and instead
record and report the incident to the
Control Center.” WILLIAMS

Senate votes to open
debate on gun control
Safety. The Senate
voted 68-31 to open
debate on Obama’s
proposals to expand
background checks
for gun buyers.
The Senate cleared the
way on Thursday for an
emotional, weeks-long debate on proposals to curb
gun violence, rejecting
an effort by conservative
Republicans to block consideration of gun-control
legislation prompted by
December’s
Newtown
school massacre.
The
Senate
easily
cleared the 60-vote hurdle
needed to break a Republican filibuster on a bill that
has sparked intense lobbying on both sides, including families of the Connecticut victims as well as
the powerful gun lobby the

National Rifle Association.
“The hard work starts
now,” Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said after the procedural vote to open debate,
which won the support of
16 Republicans.
Twenty-nine Republicans and two Democrats
voted to block the guncontrol debate. The Democrats were Mark Pryor of
Arkansas and Mark Begich
of Alaska, who face tough
reelection campaigns next
year in conservative, gunfriendly states.
The legislation still
faces many hurdles, including a weeks-long debate in the Senate featuring many amendments
that could make the bill
unacceptable to senators
who now support it. And
if it clears the Senate, it
would face a tough reception in the Republican-led
House of Representatives.

French scientists have

Wearing a bra can do

for women.
Despite years of advice that a good supportive bra was vital,
the research team at the
University of Besancon,
in the east of France,
completed a 15-year
study of thousands of
women that suggested that going bra-free
might be better for a
womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back health

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?
Here is a startling fact
passed on to me by a former member of the KGB:
If you stroll down any
street in D.C., chances
are you will pass a spy.
This is the Grand Central Station of worldwide
espionage. Restaurants,
hotels, health clubs
and doughnut shops
are undoubtedly visited
by folks who are not
precisely who they
appear to be; skulking
about gathering tidbits
of information about the
economies, governments
and cultures of other
countries.
Like Korean pop
music, that’s a part of
globalization we all have
to accept.
But in recent years,
D.C. has been roiled by
a new kind of domestic

spy game, the increasingly common practice
of political foes secretly
taping one another’s
private conversations
and then rolling them
out amid much giggling
and not a few curses. It
happened to President
Obama when he made
that crack during his
first campaign about voters who “cling to guns
or religion.” It happened
to Mitt Romney when he
let fly with the fraction
heard round the electorate: the “47 percent.”
The latest example
involves a recording of
Republican Sen. Mitch
McConnell’s team
discussing how to beat
actress Ashley Judd

Quoted

“While I wish all politicians would just, like
Horton, mean what they say and say what
they mean, that’s not the world in which we
live. Both sides need to have frank conversations about the world in which we live.”

run for office. (She’s not
going to, by the way.)
They talked about her
religious views, some
rather odd statements
she made about airports,
and presumably they
had the obligatory
“Now, exactly how is she
related to Wynonna?”
conversation.
Anyway, the McConnell people are
pretty unhappy. Judd
is steamed, too. And
honestly, I wonder if we
all ought to be. Because
while I wish all politicians would just, like
Horton, mean what they
say and say what they
mean, that’s not the
world in which we live.
Both sides need to have
frank conversations with
their supporters without
fear of microphones
hidden in the begonias.
The growing prevalence
of these surreptitious recordings only increases
the mistrust and bitterness among folks who
are already dealing with
enough of both. And
that is no secret.

Conflict. South Korea
and United States
on missile watch
South Korea and the
United States were on
high alert for a North Korean missile test-launch on
Thursday, as the isolated
state celebrated the rule
of the Kim dynasty and
appeared to tone down
rhetoric of impending war.
Despite recent threats
to attack U.S. bases and
the South, North Korea
started to welcome a
stream of visitors for Monday’s celebrations marking
the birthday of its founder
Kim Il-sung.
President Barack

Obama said the United
States would work
diplomatically to reduce
tensions with North
Korea, while warning that
Washington would take
“all necessary steps” to
protect America and its
allies.
Obama met at the
White House on Thursday with U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon, who
called for China and other
nations with influence
over North Korea to help
calm the situation.

‘The
Terror’ of
knowing
what this
world is
about
Coyne says although he
split with his wife of 25
years last August, more
of the lyrics are related to
harsh realizations about
growing up, rather than
such personal strife.
“When we’re young and
when we’re trying to
experience what we think
love is, part of us wants to
think that ‘Without love,
what is life?’ that life isn’t
worth living. And maybe
that’s true for some
people, but I think what
love tells you
eventually, if you keep
listening and you keep
trying and keep looking
and keep wanting and
keep failing and trying
again, it says, ‘Yeah, this
isn’t life.’ Life, if you look
around you is in these
birds and in these trees
and in this planet and this
dirt, and you’re just like
them. These trees don’t
fall over because
someone doesn’t love
them. The sun doesn’t
stop shining because
someone doesn’t love it.
And you’re just like that.
Love is just in your mind
and your mind is part of
what you’re created for.
And part of you wants
to kill yourself when you
know that. And that’s
the terror. You know that
you’ve got to go down
there and explore that.
The terror is that you may
find out some truths that
utterly change the way
you’re going to view the
world from here on out.”

THE DARK SIDE
of the Lips

The happy sounds just aren’t coming out of this thing: The Flaming Lips are, from left, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins, Coyne, Derek Brown and Kliph Scurlock.

New album. With
‘The Terror,’ The
Flaming Lips put
away the hamster
ball and get into
some legitimate
existential angst.
When The Flaming Lips
appeared in a commercial
during the Super Bowl this
year, it seemed that after 30
years as a band, they were
ready to present themselves definitively to the
masses; as fuzzy, fun-time
freaks who roll around in
hamster balls and blast
technicolor confetti from
their tour bus. The minuteand-a-half Hyundai ad crystallized the band’s whimsical qualities, which were
particularly potent in last
year’s hyper-collaborative
and highly playful project, “The Flaming Lips and
Heady Fwends.” But the
Lips have put aside their
playdates with seemingly
disparate “Fwends” like

non-musical — not even always rhythmically
correct — bed to it.”
Coyne

Ke$ha, Erykah Badu and
Chris Martin and gone to a
much darker place. Therein
they found “The Terror.”
“The Terror,” which
comes out Tuesday, finds
Wayne Coyne and company capturing the sound
of the desperate anxiety
that you’d expect from an
album with a title like that.
“A lot of times I think
Flaming Lips music goes
into the fantastical and I
think that’s great,” says
Coyne. “But I think this music specifically goes to how
life is. Part of it is that there
is something grinding away
at you. … I think virtually
every song on here has this
kind of underlying, grinding, non-musical — not
even always rhythmically
correct — bed to it.”
Lyrically, the mood is
persistently similar, with
very little light coming into
or escaping from the songs.
On one track, when a high
hopeful voice sings “You’re
not alone” it is echoed by
a sobering mechanical response of “You are alone.”
This is a very different
Wayne Coyne from the one

/ GEORGE SALISBURY

who sang about a girl who
uses Vaseline on her toast
instead of jelly. It’s a very
different Wayne Coyne
from the one who asked
if you realized that happiness makes you cry. Coyne
admits that when the band
began to chase these dark
impulses, part of “The Terror” was that they wouldn’t
be able to return.
“I always know that
once we get interested in
something it’s wonderful,
but it’s also scary, because
it’s like ‘We’re really gonna do this’ and you don’t
know in the beginning if it
means that we destroy this
other part of us.”
But Coyne insists that
the other part of the band
has not been destroyed.
“I believe it’s like having
a conversation with someone who is interesting,”
he says. “They tell serious,
horrible stories and then
they tell silly, funny stories. That’s just the way the
world is.”

Soulidified celebrates the sounds of Erykah Badu April 12 at 8 p.m. at World Cafe Live. / UNIVERSAL MOTOWN

Provocative soul singer
Erykah Badu has remained
a challenging figure since
she emerged on the national music scene 15
years ago.
Perhaps part of the reason she’s kept her edge is
the fact that despite selling her share of records,
she’s remained outside of
the mainstream.
“I believe she’s avoided
that — that’s not where
she’s trying to go,” says
Philly hip-hop impresario
Dave Ghet. “She’s definitely trying her best to
stay under the radar and
with that comes a freedom.
Take someone like Mariah
Carey. There are records
Mariah Carey can’t make.”
But Badu can.
The music of Badu will
be celebrated tonight by
the Ghet-led Soulidified
crew in “Love of My Life:
A Celebration of the Music
of Erykah Badu,” at World

Dave Ghet, right, leads the Soulidified crew. / DAVE GHET

Cafe Live’s upstairs stage.
Badu burst on the
scene with the 1997 album “Baduizm,” which
featured the hit single “On
& On,” an alluring, earthy
excursion. The track and
video established Badu as
a figure of importance in
the music world and as
one of the leading lights of
the burgeoning neo-soul
movement.
“[Badu] can make the
records she makes because
of who she’s become,”
Ghet says. “She’s not at
that level of success where
it’s a hindrance to the creativeness of what artists
do.”

Soulidified have been
paying tribute to the greats
for the last three years.
Ghet, aka Dave Reynolds,
made his name in the national hip-hop scene as
Dave Ghetto of Camden,
with hood-centric but not
hood-restricted rhymes.
For the Badu tribute,
just don’t expect a recreation of her 2010 “Window Seat” video, in which
she stripped down on the
streets of Dallas. “That
was very provocative,”
Ghet says.

Skaters: From the ashes of Dead Trees
comes a sound that glides forward

Music. This band
may have moved
around a lot, but
their new tunes are
anything but all
over the map.

Skaters are built from
the remnants of the Boston band Dead Trees. But
there’s a bit of map-hopping to their story. After
leaving Boston for Oregon and then to L.A. and
losing members along
the way, singer Michael
Cummings and drummer
Noah Rubin finally settled
in New York to regroup
— sonically, mentally and
literally.
Forming a new band
with a sound to capture
the excitement of their
new surroundings, they

Skaters

From DIY to WB

with Odonis Odonis
and The Shakes

Metro learned about
Skaters when the
band was just a DIY
dream. Cummings
was gracious enough
to give us their first
interview after an
intimate Boston
debut in 2011. He also
allowed this writer
into the confines of
Electric Lady Studios
last month while they
were recording.
Their unsuspecting
beginnings, satisfied
with self-release or
possible indie interest, led to a mystique
that had major labels
intrigued, with several
offers on the table before the band signed
to Warner Brothers.

Burke (Viva Viva), and began making demos for a
free EP.
“When we got to New
York all the stuff I was
writing was a totally different style,” says Cummings. “We took that and
formed Skaters around a
few choice songs. This is
the first band where I’ve

gone into it knowing exactly what sound I wanted
to get out of it. With the
Dead Trees there was always a confusion because
I liked so many styles of
music. I wrote songs because of how I was feeling. There’s more of an
identity to Skaters.”
Over the years, Cummings’ songs have evolved
from quiet ballads to

high-energy,
melodic
punk, but the songs have
never skimped on lyrical
content. After listening
to their EP and upcoming
single, you get glimpses of
The Clash’s “Sandinista”
mixed with the feeling
you had when you first
heard the Strokes’ debut.
These are exciting, guitardriven songs that make
you move and make you

think.
“They’re all New Yorkbased songs,” says Cummings. “There’s a vibe
that we want to capture.
We’re a guitar-based band,
but there are definitely a
lot of loops and beats and
electronic elements.”
